Last month, New York City's strengthened delivery worker protection laws finally took effect. After years of organizing and advocacy, delivery workers are now guaranteed a minimum pay rate of $21.44 an hour and the opportunity to earn tips before customers checkout.

On Staten Island, Shrove Tuesday is a chance to celebrate with neighbors and friends before the hush of Lent settles over the borough. But the tradition has grown surprisingly scarce. This year, based on my research, only three congregations are firing up their griddles for the pre‑Lenten ritual-all free, with freewill donations accepted-serving pancakes, sausage, and the kind of fellowship that has defined the day for generations.

A distinguished little studio at Abingdon Court, an Art Deco co-op on the corner of Bank and Bleecker. For a studio, it has a smart layout: A nicely sized foyer creates space for storage and a good amount of separation from the rest of the apartment, and the kitchen (a totally serviceable galley with a good amount of storage) is completely walled off from the living area - no waking up to look at your oven.

By day, Olufunmilola Obe commands the NYPD's Transportation Bureau as a three-star chief. By night, and in the precious hours between shifts, she was buried in casebooks and legal briefs, chasing a second calling. After four years of night school, Obe achieved what she once only imagined: passing the bar exam while still on the job, proving that even at the highest levels of policing, ambition doesn't stand still.

But a far nastier picture of their high life has been on display in court for the past few weeks, where the three brothers are on trial for sex trafficking.

Six weeks into his tenure, Mayor Zohran Mamdani has been confronted with controversies both grave and frivolous. He wisely stood by a top appointee who was facing down a media circus for tweets that were more than a half-decade old.
